Speaking of McLaren, did you hear the James Hunt is waving the green flag at the Indy 500 this year?

With ABC/ESPN/Disney, and this being their last 500, I would love to see them bring in Chris Evans dressed as the Cap, and have him talk about old races.

The odds are slim anyone with any pull would have had this idea, but you never know.

My mom took a picture of Hunt on the grid at the Indy 500 in the 70s wearing just an incredible period outfit. I'll see if I can dig it up when i get home today.

Man I don't even care that the new aero kit has more drag, it looks like it could do a billion miles an hour, so cool.

Especially when you compare it to last year's giant airbox and Kardashian rear end end

The thing about the DW12 and the Honda speedway aero is the side pods looks so weird, especially compared to now.

Supposedly his big rumor/announcement was Williams F1 was going to partner with DCR for the 500, so long as fittipaldi was driving. When he wrecked, the plan was nixed.

I get that David Land does some interesting YouTube videos, but what the hell kind of sources is he supposed to have where he can break a “Williams was going to support an Indycar team” level story before Racer or the Indy Star?

Exposure.
Martini's leaving them at the end of the season and they need a new big time partner. Indicating a willingness to expand to do more stuff in the US might help land a big fish.

This is the exact reason McLaren are interested as well. IndyCar is pennies compared to F1, but the added exposure makes it much easier to sign sponsors.
